    Map Title: The Death Box

    A fast paced small map, very good for 1v1, but it can support up to 16 people. The map has 2 spawns: 1st is right about the drop down, and the 2nd is in a closed of room with a teleporter that has a Gravity Lift pushing people into the teleporter witch sends you to the 1st spawn. The map is complete asymmetric and futures on both sides: Power Drain, Deployable cover, Bubble Shield, Regenerator, 2 Plasma grenades, 2 Frag grenades, and after the first minute in to the game a sword will spawn on both sides above the weapon holders.

    The game type is modified to protect from spawn killing, witch after play testing people seamed to like doing. The game type allows you for the first 5 seconds after re-spawning to be invulnerable and inflict 200% more damage. Player who have spawned will be colored black to show they still have the re-spawn traits active.

    Wowzer, looks like a pretty nice map to me. I like what you did to prevent spawn camping, but personally, I think you should eliminate the 200% damage and make it go for 3-4 seconds. In 5 seconds you can easily get two kills with 200% damage. Plus, no one will hurt you because you are invincible. If you play with the shield door, you should do something to prevent sword camping in front of it. I notice there is a opening at the top of it to throw grenades, but frags will just bounce and it would be hard to hit someone camping. They would kill you by the time that you angle a grenade. Not to mention, you also have bubble shields that would make it even worse for guys who are trying to shoot. So, I suggest you take out the shield and possibly one of the bubbles. (Put the other in the middle.) And after that, you should just put some barriers in the middle that make it harder, but prevent sword camping.

    I'm just trying to help you, not criticize. On the plus size, I can tell you thought really hard, your interlocking is wonderful and I bet the gameplay is kickass. PM me if you have more questions.

    Damn that was long.

    Well thank you. I am going to keep in mind from all the post and change the map around after I get more ideas. I think you brought up some good points and I will probley change the 200% damage.

    the reason why they said that you should put the shield door in is cause you need more cover

    Yeah I knew that lol. The shield door is already there, but I am thinking about taking it out and one of the bubble shields and place one bubble in the center.

    Great, you made it so that there are different types of 1v1 fights. This is competitive but wouldn't it also be a mini game map? 5/5 for what it's made for. Could look better though.

    Ty ^-^ I don't think it would be a mini-game.

    Is it a mini-game?

    welcome to Forgehub! i gotta admit when heard the words death box i didnt really like it then when i saw it i changed my mind. i dont really know if having 2 swords is very good, maybe one in the middle but anyways, the map looks pretty good. nice interlocking. you sould add more cover, other than the swords the weapon placement looks really good. cool map 3/5
